Norwegian Wood 03

Another Frank and Herman Einstein post mentioning a different Norwegian, this time a ridge in Idaho.

https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2012/12/27/i-almost-always/

Notice the word Wegian is distilled from Norwegian in this post. Now, removing Wegian from Norwegian Wood gives us Norwood, which is the actual name of the neighborhood as I’ll tell you now. Switch from fantasy back to reality, then. Norwegian Wood mentioned at the bottom of that December 2012 post as well.

But Hucka D. is emphasizing that we must continue to *mystify* Ashville and its neighborhoods, instead of *de*mystifying. So we have Norwegian Wood, Cherry Avenue, Lime Street, and Linden Creek instead of their actual names. Well, as far as I can tell Linden Creek doesn’t actually have name, so this is a coined word for an unnamed stream in reality. And now I also have a name for the stream that it joins: Read Creek. And Earl Weaver Park may have been originally called Read Creek Park or just Read Park. The fairies or toy avatars or elves or whatever inhabits the Linden Creek area in mystified reality have preserved a bit of this original park across the road from the present park, but still on Read Creek.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned that in Earl Weaver Park we find the actual conjunction of Linden and Read streams. I viewed the conjunction in person several weeks back, and found the two streams almost equal in size at that place. Nevertheless, the Linden name is absorbed into the Read name at that juncture, terminating the former. You cannot see the stream confluence in Street View, and I didn’t take a picture of it while there. I’ll rectify that soon enough.

Nearby bamboo grove. We know the wee people love river cane!

In Read Park, when it is restored to its original name, we will find a monument to TILE starting with “I”.

Hucka D.:

We know Norway is North, referring to Nordic aliens, seen as superior in most eyes to the Southern ones, sometimes called Greys or Reptilians. This is oversimplification pure and simple. The Nordics are more *us* — or you I should say, baker b. The Reptilians are more *them*. Can you trust Greys? Can you trust anyone? Is a human being from the South during Civil War times necessarily evil because he doesn’t understand the human tragedy of slavery? Do they have a Hart?

Orchard City: A(B)C(D)E. READ just below. One of two other US Read’s above Murdock in Utah.

Orchard City, the second largest municipality in Delta County, is home to 3,100 residents and is the largest municipality in terms of square miles in Delta County.

Despite its size, Orchard City is primarily recognized by the names of three smaller and older areas within its boundaries: Austin, Eckert and Cory.

They all had separate beginnings, but somehow through a unique course of events came together. The following is a condensed history of how Orchard City came to be a town of three communities.

Three Communities Grow

The names Austin, Eckert and Cory have existed since the turn of the century. In the 1900’s, the entire area, including Cedaredge to the north, was solid with orchards of peaches, apricots, cherries, and apples. The area was gorgeous.

Cherry Avenue is a Magnet?

apricotbone01
Apricot-Bone is probably also the name of a mystified Ashville neighborhood.

It’s definitely a fruit bowl situation.

Norwegian Wood 02

John Lynndon (former “Mr. Murdock”).

ashville705b

House 39 just up the hill, up the stairs.

ashville706

Heading south on Cherry Avenue away from John Lynndon. He’s swiftly becoming a blast from the past. He’s one shot from slipping around the bend and out of sight (man)…

ashville707

… and at the same time the very tip of Cherry Avenue’s first “island” comes into view from the opposite direction.

ashville708

One snapshot closer: island in plain view. John Lynndon now totally gone in the other direction. Two boys playing basketball in Earl Weaver Park also first come into focus, also our first good glimpse into the park from this direction. Like I’ve said, House 39 is directly associated with EWP, and the owners of the house probably also owned this land in the first part of the last century at least.

Basically we’ve exchanged John Lynndon for these basketball players in our trek south on Cherry Avenue in Google Maps Street View. As the former goes out of sight, these two come into sight, along with the island.

ashville709

We are already seeing parallels with what happens at the *southern* end of this same avenue, reviewed in the “Found Art Event (!) 02” post below. This is, in fact, the start what can probably be seen as the *second* such art event of Cherry Ave., north mirroring south.

https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2014/12/11/found-art-event-02/

After being hidden for one photograph, the basketball players come back into view just as we pass the northernmost traffic island of the avenue. More islands appear down the street now.

ashville710

Next photo: the boys unknowingly pose below the lower right corner of a speed limit sign.

ashville711

2 photos south: boys entangled in a second road sign. Are they the occupants of the seesaw? They are at least similar players in the park to these abstracted seesawers. Speed limit has lowered from 25 to 20.

ashville711

As we pass 2nd large traffic island of Cherry Avenue still heading south, the players disappear, just as they appeared when we passed the first large island.

ashville714

We see them fairly clearly one last time several photos down. The man in the darker trunks has now moved off the court and into the edge of the woods for some reason. Is he retreating back into the shadows?

ashville716

ashville717

In the same 360 degree photo, 1 of 2 paired runners first appears clearly to the south. Another exchange has seemingly taken place.

ashville718

I’m still analyzing the motion of the 2 runners, moving backwards as we go against the grain of time in continuing to head south down Cherry Avenue. At one point, they seem to frame the edges of the last large traffic island in the northern part of this street.

ashville719

And then they first appear in Google Earth Street View as we enter Cherry Avenue from Norwegian Wood Avenue to the north.

ashville720

But if we just head down Cherry Avenue without this small detour, the runners seem to vanish as we pass the second to last large traffic island (of 4). I’ll have to go into details about the islands in another post.

My initial theory is that with this disappearance the art event has also ended. All that’s left is to figure out what’s going on with it, and how and why north mirrors south.

(to be continued?)

Norwegian Wood 01

Cool Norwegian Wood front yard also featured in a photo from this site…

http://silverwoodcircle.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-new-neighborhood.html

… and on Norwegian Wood Avenue, just uphill from the last picture of the following post.

ashville700

House 39, one of the two oldest residences in this neighborhood, built ca 1910. Looks like it is for sale now, or perhaps someone is moving in presently. Hope they take good care of it. According to another Norwegian Wood related site, this property was once “associated” with Weaver Park, which I take to mean that whoever owned the house also owned the mentioned field that later became the recreational area.

ashville701

Interesting “traffic island” bordering this property.

ashville702

Strange puppet-like things dangle from the porch of a house on the opposite side of this island from House 39. At least one more, similar looking object is draped over the porch wall in front of the house, where a seated elderly lady chats with a younger woman leaning against a baby stroller.

ashville703

Are these toy avatars? Do they harbor the secrets of Linden Creek, and Cherry-Lime and Norwegian Wood neighborhoods of Ashville? Are they somehow kin to the fairies found in front of the house bordering this Linden Creek in Cherry-Lime?

dangly things

Is the Norwegian Wood traffic island the mother of the much more modern ones on Cherry Avenue somehow? Several of the latter lie only about 200 feet downhill from here, a short jaunt even for a foot high toy avatar. I will also keep monitoring House 39 down through the years because I believe it holds secrets as well.
